| Publisher Description: Poet/sleuth Victoria Trumbull takes her city-bred tenant Zack Zeller for a nature walk in a Martha's Vineyard's conservation area, and shows him a mushroom she calls black trumpet of death. Zack is sure he's found a way to rid himself of his troublesome girlfriend, Samantha, but the mushrooms he gives her end up on her daddy's dinner table. Zack, one of the invited guests, is sure he's doomed the diners to an untimely death. Meanwhile, dead bodies are cropping up on the Island. |
